Join Exeter College in welcoming Dr Akshat Rathi (2008, DPhil Organic Chemistry), Senior Climate Reporter at Bloomberg News as the speaker at this years Sustainability Event.
Using the Heathrow transformer outage as a starting point, Akshat explores the hidden bottleneck facing Western countries on the road to decarbonisation – the infrastructure that makes electrification possible.
As electricity demand surges and decarbonisation advances the main challenge is no longer generating clean power but delivering it. Essential overlooked infrastructure with fragile supply chains, rising costs and potential geopolitical risk is holding back the clean energy transition.
This talk examines why failing to build the backbone of an electric system that supports clean power delivery puts both our climate goals and economic future at risk.
